Tell us something.: I love Irish music! I am mostly a whistle player but would like to learn more about flutes. I also have a couple older whistles I'd like to sell and maybe pick up a bamboo flute to practice with.
I wonder if a person's chiff or pure preference relates to tones outside the whistle such as; human voice (ex. Dr. John - chiff, Freddy Mercury-pure) or other instruments. (ex. saxophone - chiff, Oboe - pure). I be a puritan meself!

Do they have chiff?
That's up to the player. They can be played with extreme "chiffiness" (i.e. Noel Rice), moderate chiffiness (i.e. Matt Molloy) or none at all (i.e. James Galway).
i like a pure sounding low D, like the howard
but for high D's, i want more chiff to soften the second octave, like a burke composite.
then again, i you play along with other instuments, it's different.
if i play along with a chiffy accordion, i'd prefere a pure sounding high D,
and it depends on the room you're playing in.
